I think I like it.... probably only works well on a white car.
No matter how broke I am... I always seem to find two cents.

Come to think of it... I color matched the wheels on my '59 VW (common trick for the breed).

Old 4wd Subarus had white wheels.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

I just noticed I drive past a powder coating place on my way home from school every day, I think I might drop by there and ask them for a quote on this.

I am fan of color coordinated wheels, but please remember that it's going to be a pain to keep them clean.
